Ingredients
  • 2 sticks Ginger (1/2 cut into matchsticks, the rest left whole.)
  • 2 Onions, quartered
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Rapeseed Oil
  • 2 sticks Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
  • 0.5 teaspoons Fennel seeds
  • 750 grams Lamb stew meat
  • 1 can Chopped tomatoes
  • 1 Red chilli or Green chilli (Deseeded and sliced small)
  • 1 Bunch Coriander (Stalks finely chopped, leaves roughly chopped)
Instructions
  1. Prepare Aromatic Purée

    Place whole ginger, onions, and garlic in a food processor with 300ml water.
    Blitz to a smooth purée, scraping down the sides for the smoothest consistency.
    Transfer the purée to a deep sauté pan, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the liquid evaporates. Extend cooking time if needed.

  2. Infuse with Additional Flavors

    Add oil to the pan along with the remaining ginger. Increase the heat and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until it starts to color.

  3. Sauté Onions, Garlic, and Lamb

    Sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
    Add the lamb and brown the meat. Add the remaining ingredients, and transfer the mixture to a casserole dish.

  4. Enhance with Spices and Simmer

    Stir in the spices and add the lamb, stir-frying until the lamb changes color.
    Tip in the tomatoes with a can of water, add the chili, season well, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

  5. Add Coriander and Continue Cooking

    Stir in the coriander stalks, re-cover, and cook for a final 30 minutes until the lamb is tender.
    Add a splash of water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency during cooking.

  6. Finish with Freshness

    Stir in the coriander leaves.
    Serve the Lamb Curry with basmati rice and your choice of mango chutney or raita.
